Calculate your Cost of Lead Acquisition and Customer Lifetime Value to then develop realistic and achievable goals. Once you know the value of a lead to your business, you know how to measure success.
Interview your existing customers and your sta� to uncover the needs, wants,
challenges and behaviours of your buyer personas - the actual individuals that make
up your target market.
TIP #3Research Your Keywords
TIP #4Optimise Your Website
Conduct keyword research to identify the search terms that will be relevant for your business and that you stand a realistic chance of e�ective ranking on search engines. Learn what longtail keywords are and build a strategy based on them.
As well as optimising your site for your keyword strategy, you also need to make
your site an e�ective conversion tool through e�ective design, landing pages,
web forms and calls-to-action.
TIP #5Regular Blogging
TIP #6Downloadable Content
Develop weekly blog posts that answer the questions your buyer personas are asking with their web searches. Remember your keywords when choosing topics, but never be blinded by SEO at the expense of creating engaging content.
Develop content, such as eBooks, which site visitors will download through providing
their contact details on a landing page web form. Include call-to-action links to the
landing page within your blog posts and on relevant site pages to generate more leads.
TIP #7Marketing Automation
TIP #8ʻSmarketing ̓Framework
Use marketing automation to send personalised and relevant emails to your leads. Set your automation criteria based on the behaviours a lead has exhibited as it’s important to nurture them to be sales ready.
Have your Sales and Marketing teams agree on a framework for mutual responsibilities
and lead categorisation. This will result in better quality leads, higher conversion rates
and less headaches!
TIP #9Social Media Marketing
TIP #10Keep The Machine Running
Use social media to drive additional tra�c to your blog posts and site pages. Share a mixture of owned content and buyer persona relevant 3rd party content daily, across buyer persona relevant channels.

Can you commit to the equivalent of 1-2 days/week towards Inbound Marketing (or have the budget for an inbound Consultant.)
2. TIME If yes, great!
If not, you are likely to �nd it di�cult to collect the right insights, develop enough con-tent, and be e�ective in email and social media marketing.
Do you sell a product or service that has a point of di�erence from the competition?
1. UNIQUENESS If yes, great!
